I haven’t been able to get Kimbra’s “Settle Down” out of my head for days and days and days. (BOOM!Ba-boomBA!)
Kimbra is the woman featured on Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Love,” which — according to the comments — is everyone’s new favorite song.
Also, I’m meh on the song, but this video for “Cameo Lover” is trippy-twee fantastic. Have a look.

She’s got a whole batch of videos that are all filmed “Live at Sing Sing” and I pretty much prefer them all to the “Official” videos. But I do love the visual wackness in all of these.

Oh my.
I would love to know what kind of things lurk in her mind, and what she’s thinking of while staring out into that middle distance.

I have been listening to Settle Down (and Somebody that I Used to Know) for weeks. It gets stuck in your head!
those girls in the settle down video are adorable and also a little scary.

I wouldn’t let her babysit, that’s for sure.

I also wish I could have her hair (oh fine brown curly hair, you will never not have frizz).

my friend introduced me to Kimbra and Goyte and couple of weeks ago. I’ve been meaning to download but then I went and had a baby and promptly forgot! Thanks for the reminder…off to iTunes before I forget again, ha.

I absolutely second the “need to watch” Walk off the Earth’s cover. AMAZING. Also, total girl-crush on Kimbra, and just a normal crush on Wally DeBacker. I purchased 2 Gotye albums shortly after being introduced to STIYTK. I think he sounds like Sting-meets-Peter-Gabriel and I LOVE.

I of course love the duet with Gotye, but I think I might like this Miami Horror song featuring Kimbra even more – I look to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOHxvRDjGVo

She rocks doesn’t she. We like to claim ownership of her as an Aussie, but she is technically a kiwi. I have a bit of a girl crush. I remember recommending “someone” to you a while ago but it is Aldo a song that is hard to listen to post breakup. I am glad you are enjoying it now. Wally is very talented isn’t her. There are some other great songs.
Thanks for sharing these.
